Chapter Twenty-Three: Entering the Palace for the Second Time
Don't look at Zhang Xi like a little bully on weekdays.
That time, it really frightened Mrs. Zheng's gloomy and dry face and inky black eyes like an abyss, and she even forgot to fight back.
When she returned to the banquet, she heard a woman sighing: Madame Cheng was pitiful, like a living dead, and had no popularity.
Somehow, she was moved with compassion at that time, and for the first time, she didn't complain to Aya.
Don't allow the maid Qiu Ying next to her to say it.
Later, she tried her best to avoid Mrs. Zheng, and never saw this Mrs. Zheng at the banquet again, and gradually forgot about it and left it behind.
At this moment, when she suddenly saw Mrs. Zheng, she recognized it at once and remembered this old incident.
"The plum blossom banquet in the eighteenth palace of Layue, will you go?"
"I'm not going, Sixteen Niang is still young, I don't worry about putting her alone at home, if I bring it over, in case I stay with the princess in the palace as a playmate, my husband and I are even more reluctant." Fahrenheit's tone was much lighter.
Mrs. Zheng seemed to think of something, and smiled reluctantly, "The in-laws want to resign, you don't have to care, we have what we want to push, we can't push it off, we have to think about the future of the family." ”
In the end, Mrs. Zheng had a little more self-deprecation on her face, "Otherwise, who is impatient to enter the palace." ”
Mrs. Zheng in front of her is undoubtedly fresh and flamboyant.
"You, after so many years, your personality has not changed, you are straightforward, just say this to me, don't go outside to say it, after all, it is not as good as before, and now the court is in power, I heard that there are many people in the court office recently."
The Imperial Lieutenant's Office is no different from prisons, and most of the people detained are children of royal clans and wealthy families who have committed crimes.
"The action over there is quite a big move over there, you wait and see, this court is the royal family and the scholar clan ruling the world after all, and it is really not the turn of a group of cold people to point fingers in it."
Since the ascendion to the throne of the saint, the first emperor Yuan and the Li clan were deposed, and the people of the Hanmen seemed to have been inspired and sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
However, the success of Empress Dowager Yang is inseparable from the support of the family.
Zhang Xi listened to this series of conversations between the high-ranking and the poor, and only felt dizzy, it turned out that the struggle between the high-ranking scholars and the Hanmen in the next twenty years and the Hanmen began to have clues from this time.
However, among the Gaomen clans, it is not monolithic.
Therefore, Aya has presided over the government for more than 20 years, and the officials from the high and poor families have always accounted for half of them, which directly led to the extreme dissatisfaction of many high-ranking families, and they also have a lot of resentment towards Aya.
It's just that Aya's methods are too vigorous, and there is a taste of a lonely minister, and the high-ranking families of the family dare not speak out.
She heard these words from Ah Gu's mouth.
No one dared to say it to her.
——*——*——
The plum blossom banquet in the palace was held as scheduled.
It's just that on the day of the plum blossom banquet, a letter of edict was issued to summon Zhang Xi into the palace.
The reason is to be a playmate for the Seven Princesses.
Hua Shi disagreed, and almost pointed at the menacing female official and scolded, but let Banniang Zhang Yu stop him in time, "Ah Niang, I will carry my sister into the palace." ”
One of the most common pieces of evidence used by those who have been imprisoned in the Imperial Governor's Office recently is contempt for imperial power.
She didn't want A-Niang to give her a handle at this time.
She is fifteen years old and vaguely knows a lot of things, so she doesn't want A-Niang to enter the palace.
"Ah Mei is young, and I often take her at home, and today I personally carried her into the palace, so as not to make a fuss on the road and worry about several aunts." Banniang Zhang Yu said to the female officer in Tsing Yi.
Several ladies looked at each other and exchanged views.
This little lady of the Zhang family, they also heard the female official Zhou in the Hongde Hall say, it is not easy to coax, and there are rumors that came out of the Zhou family in the palace before, although there is an assertion of Master Zhu outside, but most of the palace believes the words of the female official Zhou.
After all, she is the one who has come into contact with the little lady of the Zhang family.
Everyone was still a little jealous in their hearts, and the waiter Yang repeatedly told them to do this errand well, so everyone nodded.
I heard Zhang Yu say again: "A few aunts sit for a while, and I'll go and pick up my sister out." As she spoke, she glanced at Shen and asked her to entertain the female officials, and dragged Hua back to the inner courtyard.
"A-Niang, you dissipate your anger, we are not worth a hard fight at the moment, I will personally carry A-Mei into the palace, you send someone to Menshang Province to send a message to Aye." Banniang Zhang Yu said with a calm face.
"Amin, you are messing around, you have never entered the palace......"
"A-Niang forgot, Mrs. Zheng is in the palace today, and there are also people in the He Ruo's family in the palace, if something really happens, I can still ask them for help."
Banniang Zhang Yu took Hua's hand and said, "Ah Niang, listen to me, Aya probably doesn't know about this yet, and the top priority is to inform Aya first." ”
"You Aye, I'll ask Chen Yi to deliver the letter."
Hua Shi looked at the slim and elegant in front of him, who looked like his eldest daughter, and made a big decision, "Ah Ming, you are still young, you stay at home, and I will take Ah Yan into the palace." ”
She promised her husband that Zhang Ying would not enter the palace.
But the Yang slut suddenly made such a move, didn't she just want to force her into the palace, then she would go into the palace to meet that slut, and the jealousy and hatred in Hua's eyes were so thick that she couldn't get rid of it.
Banniang Zhang Yu saw it clearly from the side.
"No, A-Niang, you can't enter the palace."
This shout startled Fahrenheit and the servants and maidservants around him.
"Amin."
Fahrenheit looked at the eldest daughter in front of him, his eyes were full of panic and worry, and his hands were very cold, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm fine." Banniang Zhang Yu's face was a little pale, "I beg you, let me take Ah Mei into the palace, I will definitely bring Ah Mei back, please don't enter the palace." ”
"Armin ......"
"I know everything." Zhang Yu lowered his head.
Hua's heart was shocked, touched her daughter's face, and scolded Yang half to death in her heart, her good daughter was involved in this kind of dirty thing.
Her daughter has always been smart and clever, but at this moment, she doesn't want her daughter to be so knowledgeable.
"Auntie, don't enter the palace, count your daughter begging you." Zhang Yu hugged Hua's arm, with a begging on his face, the women of this dynasty are jealous, and the two women will fight each other, and there will be an injury.
At the moment, the situation is not as good as others, and she doesn't want her mother to be hurt.
So it's best not to see each other.
When Zhang Xi asked her sister Zhang Yu to pick up the two-seated oil car, she looked at the nurse Li in the carriage and a female officer in red who accompanied the car, and suddenly understood that it was Empress Dowager Yang who summoned her into the palace.
It's just that Sister Ah has a solemn face, doesn't smile inhibitedly, and sweeps away the usual bright and bright, which makes Zhang Xi a little unaccustomed.
Stretched out his hand and tugged at the placket of his sister's clothes, babbling and screaming.
"Ah Yan is obedient, don't make a fuss." Zhang Yu touched her sister's diaper to be dry, then put her outstretched hand back into the swaddling clothes, hugged her tightly, and didn't let her move.
Zhang Xi was a little embarrassed at first, but then, he sensed that something was wrong.
In an instant, the alarm bell sounded in my heart.
